[A] [D] [A]
The wife forgave the mistress, for she only [D] entertains.
[A] The pain was gone the instant she cleared her throat.

[D] [A]
The world was not of interest, though her days were never dull.
Her bed beneath the crucifix, our guests performing miracles,
[F#m] with the Son of God just hanging [D] like the common [A] criminal.
[D] [A] When [Bm] I do wrong, I [D] am with God, [A] she thought.
When [Bm] I feel lost, [D] I am not [A] at all.
So give [C#m] me black lives, so [D] give me hot nights,
[Bm] or a dance [F#m] floor, [Bm] [E] no one tells time.
[Bm] Though I've made love, [D] yeah I've been, [A] so what?
I'm [D] a [Bm] cartoon, you're [D] a full moon, [A] so stay up.

He gave up her existence to feel everything, dream others' dreams.
[F#m] Bid farewell to her family [D] with one [F#m] ecstatic [A] knee.
[Bm] Out the window as the [D] car rolled [A] away,
her rage [Bm] just vanished [F#m] into a [D] thick mist of [A] change.
So let us [C#m] rejoice in all this [D] pain and noise,
in all the [Bm] layshine that we can [E] pinpoint.
